Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

Hi Editorial453! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
DYK for Oscar Wilde's tomb
edit | On 6 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Oscar Wilde's tomb, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Oscar Wilde's tomb had controversial testicles? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Oscar Wilde's tomb. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Congratulations
